I want to apologize to everyone for not responding to my open debate since it's reopening.

The other day I woke up with half of my face swollen and in excrusiacting pain. Turns out during the night a tooth had cracked in half and got
infected. Add to this the Dental office screwing up the extraction (there's still a good portion of the nerve in my gums, along with a bad infection
still (although it's beginning to subside) and a LOT of pain. And I haven't really be up and around this week.

Adjensen, I will be writing out my response tomorrow evening as if trends continue I should be able to be up for more than 5 minutes..

Everyone else, a heartfelt apology.. I do not do well with mouth pain...

I'm proposing a new debate series. Three debates, on the topic of Artificial Intelligence. (Side note: I was reserving a single AI debate for
Pinke, but no-shows can't debate, aye?)

The titles will be AI series, Part 1, Part 2, etc, much like the Time Travel series. I got pwned on the TT series, and am volunteering another series
to make amends.

The topics can be decided per round, but, here's my first few suggestions:

I liked the previous format, a 3-round debate, a persuasion match, and another 3-round debate.

So for this debate series I'll suggest the same.

Topics:
1. AI is a long-term goal.
2. The Internet will become AI.
3. AI will be benevolent.
4. AI is a natural evolutionary step, inevitable.
5. AI will take over the world. (Skynet Fiction.)
6. My favorite: AI is an emergent quality, due soon.

I'll let my opponent take those ideas, contort and twist them to whatever terms, and place a debate topic, and their position, hence.

4. AI is a natural evolutionary step, inevitable. Or
6. My favorite: AI is an emergent quality, due soon. - as I see them both tabling the same concepts.

For the first debate. To be followed by:

2. The Internet will become AI.

then, lastly:

3. AI will be benevolent.

If that makes sense...

First argue the validity of it AI will occur - possibly also if it will achieve this organically or by machination.
Then argue how AI will effect humanity ( Will the Internet become AI - which would bleed over into many other aspects of life, technologies, etc.)
And lastly argue whether or not this is a good or bad thing.
